I’d love to get more details about Option 2.

I have it narrowed down to two agents, one has more general experience in the area and are part of a large organization.  

I wanted to help them out and minimize their loss and saw an opportunity to get a property slightly below market because of my commission savings, immediate mortgage and maintenance relief, in addition to keeping a lower short term interest rate How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

And multifamily is 5 units or more.

In my day job I do SEO for a digital marketing agency and I am more than happy to talk SEO with anyone who has questions.I'm interested in Long-term rentals, though admittedly, finding deals below market value and funding those deals (not to mention I honestly have no idea have to put the deals under contract in the first place), are problem the first things I'll need to learn.

We usually have inspection clause in our agreements for no more than 10 days after EMD is completed. 

Some help with leasing would be great!

In the next 2 years, I'll be looking to purchase a MFR to househack. with the idea of reinvesting all of the cashflow to help scale.

If you're considering house hacking a multi family property, some lenders might be able to factor in potential rental income to help you qualify.
